Recently, there were news media such as "211 women defrauded 1.38 million within two weeks after the master was killed by the pig". The news that "the Chinese Academy of Sciences was deceived to Myanmar" was hotly discussed with some netizens on the channel. The funny thing is, how can someone with such a high education still be deceived?
Shangguan News uses big data insights to uncover the latest trends in fraud.
Emotional cards are played by all ages, and online dating is risky
The data shows that telecom fraud has become a new trend of "long live exploitation".
For the elderly, telecom fraudsters take advantage of the characteristics of the elderly living alone with less contact with the outside world and limited access to information, and then obtain the emotional recognition of the elderly by asking for help, thereby triggering fraud.
The data shows that more than half of the victims have purchased ineffective health supplements.
Scams for the post-80s and post-90s also target emotions.
According to Tencent Guardian reports and related statistics, the average economic loss caused by the "pig killing plate" scam reached 170,700 yuan, much higher than other scams.
Douban netizen Xiaoyu became a victim of the "pig-killing plate". In just half a month, she was robbed of 200,000 yuan.
Xiaoyu said that the counterfeiting process is actually an old routine. "If he talks to you every day, his psychological defenses are lowered... Then he'll introduce his approach to money management and investing, and send you screenshots of how much money he makes every day. He also asked me to try the operation and see how the profit went. "It was great at first, but as the investment increases, people disappear."
In the "pig-killing plate" scam, fraudsters cleverly take advantage of people's desires and trust in feelings, use high profit returns and gambler psychology, make victims lose rational judgment, and finally defraud money.
It is difficult to drop the pie in the sky, and investment and financial management should be careful
In addition to cheating money with love, investment traps in life are also everywhere.
In mid-September alone, Ms. Guang was robbed of nearly 859,000 yuan, all because of the public account she reads every day.
First of all, I paid attention to the financial public account for half a year, stopped updating, and switched to an APP called "Mi Xiaomeng". After downloading, the content is still free and the quality is not degraded. There are also live classes, so Teacher Hikaru will continue to read books every day.
But once a relationship of trust is established, the deception begins.
To make it easier to contact members, Ms. Hikari downloaded an app called "Laugh Chat". This group includes newcomers, veterans, lawyers, and entrepreneurs.
Everything looked normal until everyone started recommending MT5 as a forex trading platform.
"MT5 is real, and in the group they also share screenshots of how to make money. But later you find out that the plate they recommended is fake. It's like selling a fake on a regular shopping site. When you find out they are fake、、、 no one can find them. ”
After being deceived, Ms. Guang discovered that she was the only "real person" among dozens of people, and the others were "actors". Ms. Guang encountered a "fake investment and financial scam". Similar to "false rebate scams", the victim is seized and exploited to increase his income and carries out the fraud.
According to statistics, the most common form of telecom fraud is "rebate fraud". The victims are mainly students, mothers and other groups who want to increase their income through part-time work.
Phishing is the use of fake transactions by online stores to increase transaction volume or merchant reputation. Victims usually start with low-value products. After a few successful cashbacks, they let their guard down against criminals and then guided them to buy high-value products. Then, depending on the situation where the account was blocked due to an operational error, they were asked to top up to unblock the account. More and more money is being scammed.
When it comes to online customer service, don't be gullible. Handle transfers offline.
According to China Telecom, two of the five most common types of telecom fraud are impersonation fraud, namely "impersonation of public security fraud" and "customer service fraud".
From the data, fake chargers account for the largest proportion of mobile phone fraud; Among SMS scams, fake ETC is the most common.
Due to the intensified crackdown on domestic "card breaking" operations, more than half of these calls and text messages came from abroad.
Not only that, but scams are also "keeping up with the times".
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, scammers impersonate relatives and friends, send congratulatory text messages, and contain internet links containing Trojan viruses. If you accidentally click on them, your personal data can be stolen by criminals.
Pretending to be a public official to take notes "behind closed doors"
The Shanghai rumor debunking platform also found that fraud incidents impersonating public officials have occurred from time to time recently. Fraudsters constantly change their identities, impersonate customer service staff of institutions, enterprises, e-commerce, banks or social platforms, contact potential victims through video calls, and fabricate various reasons for victims to disclose personal privacy, and then commit fraud.
Such scams often use video calls, such as Facetime. If the victim receives a call, they will find a black screen on the other end of the phone. Fraudsters use various excuses to ask victims to "close the door" and "leave their relatives and friends".
At the same time, such scams occur not only domestically, but also abroad, and the victims are mainly highly educated international students. In one recent case, scammers even impersonated the 96110 anti-fraud hotline to commit fraud. Although some international students have a higher education, they do not know much about domestic anti-fraud information, so they are deceived.
Members of the public are advised not to answer calls from strangers, especially video calls, to avoid being deceived. Judging from the current case, this tactic is to set traps by impersonating public officials. During a video call, the caller's facial information may also be leaked. If you receive a call, it is recommended that you call the police and record it.
The public can also turn off video calls, FaceTime, and other features if they don't need to.
The fake "red header file" is full of spaces
An investigation by the Shanghai rumor debunking platform found that the "red head" scam is also extremely deceptive. However, these "red headers" are often spaces -
Some documents have non-standard "title" descriptions. For example, some write "State Administration for Market Regulation", but the official name should be "State Administration for Market Regulation" or "** Local State Administration for Market Regulation".
Although the name indicates the authority, the signature and official seal belong to the enterprise; Some documents even added "Market Supervision Authority" to the red title and the text was changed to "Banking Supervision Commission". In fact, there is no "red-headed document" issued by a government department and stamped by an enterprise.
So-called "red-headed documents" often contain missing words, misspellings, and missing punctuation. The writing is not fluent and does not meet the standards for writing official documents.
All kinds of details show that these "red-headed documents" are fake.
Putting aside these gaps and looking at the content of the document, you will find that although they come from different "institutions" and different "enterprises", the subject matter is basically the same: educational institutions are refunded for bad behavior. Management or government departments are investigating and a dedicated refund team has been set up. Please contact QQ customer service and scan the QR code on the receipt to apply for a refund. In order to "prove one's innocence", such documents also stipulate that refunds will not be notified by SMS and phone calls, but subject to document notifications, and that refunds are not subject to any handling fees. To raise concerns, the document also said refunds were only available to "certain parents" on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning recipients should contact customer service as soon as possible.
However, when the recipient scans the QQ on the slip to add the so-called "customer service", it is either included in the "refund group" or asked to fill in personal information and account information on the "refund group". Website" and "Refund Link". Among them, the fraud methods of the "refund group" are similar to Ms. Li's experience; The so-called "refund site" and "refund link" are phishing sites designed to scam the recipient.
It is not difficult to find that these "red-headed documents" demanding "refunds" are also traps for home delivery.
Overall, scams are everywhere and everywhere. In real life, everyone must be vigilant, do not transfer money easily, do not believe in different ways to make money, download the National Anti-Fraud Center APP, and beware of being deceived.
